[0:00]It's 8:00. This is [music] the UK Tonight. Coming up, the king heckled over his brother's links to Jeffrey Epstein. King Charles [music] ignored the comments that were made during a visit
[0:10]to Essex. However, the calls for Andrew Mountbat [music] and Windsor to cooperate with authorities are growing. >> Help the Epste investigation. Thank you
[0:23]so much. Meanwhile, the [music] prime minister apologizes to Epstein's victims over his decision to appoint Peter Mandlesson [music] as ambassador to the United States.
[0:33]>> I am sorry. Sorry for what was done to you. Sorry that so many people with power failed you. >> Also tonight, justice at last for a
[0:48]9-year-old [music] girl murdered outside her mother's shop in Lincolnshire. Lilia Valotita [music] was stabbed by a schizophrenic in Boston in 2022. Her family has waited four years for [music]
[0:59]this day after her killer was originally deemed unfit to stand trial. We'll have the details. Plus, officials confirm 36 infants [music] have been sus suffering
[1:10]from suspected food poisoning after having [music] contaminated baby formula. We'll be hearing from one mom as the health security agency tells us this is the first ever [music] case of
[1:19]its kind. And I speak to broadcaster and tinitus UK ambassador Kirsty Gallagher who is calling for more police on the streets of London after she was attacked [music] last year. All that to come and
[1:31]much more on the UK tonight. Well, tonight the pressure on the former
[1:42]Prince Andrew over his links to Jeffrey Epstein show no sign of subsiding. And today it was his brother, the king, who bore the brunt of it. King Charles was questioned about Andrew by reporters and
[1:53]onlookers as he and the queen carried out an engagement today in Essex. And while the royals might want it to be business as usual, questions over Andrew's private life continue to hound
[2:03]his family. A warning that this report coming up from our royal correspondent Rihanna Mills contains flash photography. >> In a crowd of hundreds, these voices
[2:14]would inevitably end up grabbing some of the attention. Can you help the Pepsi investigation? >> Neither getting any kind of response.
[2:29]>> Stop there. She's easier to catch. >> The king this time trying to pull attention back to the importance of pubs. Has been in this position many times over the years. Scandals
[2:41]threatening to overshadow his engagements. his approach as ever, don't answer and don't give the story further oxygen. And that of course will
[2:51]frustrate those who think the monarch should say more about Andrew and the Epstein files. When you talk to those in the palace, there is a sense that they're keen, the public don't think they're completely burying their heads
[3:02]in the sand. Like the rest of us, they do keep watching those developments as they come thick and fast. And they keep pointing us back to the fact that last year they did say that they are thinking of the victims. In the end though, it's
[3:14]up to Andrew and the lawyers that he's maybe talking to to decide the next move. In some ways, the fact that Prince Edward was bounced into answering a question about it on his official trip
[3:25]to Dubai did them a favor. >> It's all really important always to remember the victims and and who are the victims in all this. >> Again, publicly repeating the palace
[3:36]line from October that the king and queen want the focus to be on the victims. The crowds in Dham largely supportive of how the king has dealt with it all so far.
[3:46]>> I think it's important for them to keep out and do what they do because that's what we recognize of the royal family, isn't it? And I think his his brother is a separate entity to what they are
[3:56]really. So he can't control that. >> Anything like that must be very difficult for any family to be honest with you, but especially a person in his position. >> I think he's very brave to do so and
[4:06]he's upholding the values of his family. >> Very nice. Thank you so much for coming. >> No, thank you. Nice to see you. >> For the whole family, the drip of revelations continue to be a
[4:17]distraction. The Prince and Princess of Wales also just trying to get on with it all. Meeting with the new Archbishop of Canterbury and the Arn. [music]
[4:28]They know they can't prevent the heckles and shouts from becoming a story, but any response from the king, should he decide to give one, would be much more consequential. and this would not be the
[4:40]place for it. Rian Mills, Sky News in Dham in Essex. >> Meanwhile, Sakist Dharma, who is facing perhaps the biggest crisis of his time
[4:50]in Downing Street, apologized to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein today for appointing Peter Mandlesson as ambassador to the US. The PM said he was sorry for believing Mandlesson's lies.
[5:02]Senior Labour figures say that the former ambassador could bring about the end of Star's premiership. Our political editor Beth Riby reports >> Mandlesson knew Epstein, but none of us
[5:13]knew the depth and the darkness of that relationship. >> Once the PM's man in Washington, now his gravest threat.
[5:23]>> He portrayed Epstein as someone he barely knew. >> K Starmer's decision to put Mandles back into his government has left the PM
[5:33]fighting for his own political life. No one is above accountability. >> The gravity of Starmmer's predicament made plain as he came to Hastings to
[5:45]deliver an apology to Epstein's victims. >> I am sorry. Sorry for what was done to you. Sorry
[5:54]that so many people with power failed you. Sorry for having believed Mandlesson's lies and appointed him.
[6:04]and sorry that even now you're forced to watch this story unfold in public once again. >> His simmering fury barely below the
[6:14]surface. He knows Mandolson might prove a wrong he cannot write. Prime Minister, we can all hear your anger, your regret, and most importantly your apology to
[6:26]victims. But look, whatever he said or didn't say, it has proved a catastrophic error of your judgment to put him back into your government. Some of your MPs
[6:38]believe you must take responsibility for this in order to restore trust in politics and some are staying publicly now that you should stand down because
[6:49]your positions become untenable. Why are they wrong? Well, Beth, as I've said a number of times, I regret the decision to appoint Mandlesson as
[6:59]ambassador. He was asked questions about the nature and extent of his relationship with Epstein. And he's told lies >> and Starmmer's message to his MPs who
[7:10]think he can't go on. >> I understand their anger and frustration. They are angry um about his association with Epstein, as am I. We must remain focused on what we were elected into government to do, which is
[7:21]to change this country for the better for millions of people. >> Opponents trying to use the moment to force change at the top of number 10. >> It is now up to Labour MPs to do the
[7:32]right thing. I know there are many of them who are horrified by what has happened. They might now expect the prime minister to take responsibility, but we know he won't. He will have to be
[7:44]dragged out of number 10. If they want the change they know the country needs, let's talk seriously about a vote of no confidence to force the moment.
[7:54]>> Even allies asking if time is up. >> But it will bring him down unless he takes the action which is really necessary for him to take and that's
[8:04]this. He's got to stop blaming Mandelen and saying he lied to me. Peter Mandlesson was called the prince of darkness. It's it's not a secret that he
[8:15]was a bad person. Why on earth did Peter Mandlesson even get in the room to be considered for this ambassadorship? That
[8:24]is a question many of his MPs are asking. The mood in the party is mutinous. One minister told me they did not think he could survive, saying the
[8:34]party is simply too upset. Another when I asked about a possible challenge simply replied temperatures are running high. Starmit is clearly fighting for
[8:46]his political survival. The passion and the fury today was palpable. But for all of that there is a terminal gloom
[8:56]descending on his premiership that from this crisis there is simply no way back. But as for what comes next for the
[9:06]Labour party, that's unclear. All the conditions are there for a challenge to his premiership. But for now, his cabinet choose to sit on their hands.
[9:17]The prime minister will hope his apology was heard not just by his MPs, but people across the country and that it has bought him some time. But he knows
[9:27]too that his future is far from certain and it's beyond his control. Beth Riby Sky News. >> Well, let's speak now to our chief political correspondent, John Craig. And
[9:39]this time last night, John, I was talking to Beth about the situation the prime minister finds himself in and the atmosphere in the Commons was described as febra yesterday. Do you think he's
[9:49]done enough today to sort of quieten that down? Well, I spoke to a number of MPs after that uh dramatic apology he made at the beginning of that speech
[9:59]down in Hastings and the view was no, this not enough at all uh amongst many of them. Some of them said yes, he was right to do that. But the fact is he still has a lot of backbench critics. He
[10:11]does have his supporters though. I mean the parliamentary Labour party is split divided between those who think that he's made a mess of the Mandlesson
[10:20]affair. he should go um and they need to change leader and there are those though who say what's the point of changing the leader would that make things any better the other thing in his favor of course
[10:31]is that Angela Raina who is seen as a cha potential challenger who made that intervention during the debate yesterday seen as wielding the knife well she's
[10:42]still got the HMRC uh to make a ruling on whether she's uh her tax affairs uh whether she's done wrong and going to be fined or if possib possibly and then of
[10:53]course Wes Streeting the other potential challenger wafer thin majority MPs were pointing out to me in East London and of course Andy Bernham's been barred from returning to the commons so what what
[11:04]what would be better than Sir Kia a lot of Angela Raina has her supporters but until her tax business is sorted out she's not going to be a candidate there so he he he limps on he lives to fight
[11:16]another day it was quieter in parliament today as a as a recess in a week or so. Uh but then there's a bi-election which could be horrendous for Labour. >> Like you said, the prime minister
[11:27]surviving the day and seemingly ending the day with a bit of good news. This concerns the Chaos Islands. >> Not completely good news. I mean, what has happened is that Donald Trump at around about 6:00 this evening, our
[11:38]time, uh posted on his truth social a grudging, if you like, support for the Chaos deal. Um now you remember a week or so ago he said it was an act of great
[11:49]stupidity and a sign of weakness. Well now he said I understand the deal Starmmer has made according to many is the best he could
[12:00]make. But then he goes on to say basically he goes on to say if it all goes wrong he's going to send in the warships to take control. He says that uh if the lease deal sometime in the
[12:11]future ever falls apart or anyone threatens or endanger uh endangers US operations uh I retain the right to militarily secure and reinforce the
[12:21]American presence in Diego Garcia. So the Americans don't like it but the prime minister has persuaded the president to accept it for now. There was a phone call on Tuesday evening.
[12:32]There was another one today between the president and the prime minister and uh he has for now changed his tune again after saying it was an act of great stupidity. He said, "Okay, then go on.
[12:43]If you think it's the best deal, let's do it." But uh heaven help you if it all goes horribly wrong. >> Okay, as you said, not quite good news. Okay, John, thank you. John Craig with the latest from Westminster for us
[12:55]tonight. Now, the UK Health Security Agency says 36 infants have had food poisoning as a result of contaminated baby formula. As the investigation
[13:05]continues, officials have told us at Sky News it is the first ever case of its kind. Skye's Katarina Vatsi has the story. >> Emily Beard said she put her trust in a
[13:17]brand to feed her baby. But like many parents we've spoken to from across the UK, she was horrified when she found out what was in her daughter's bottle was
[13:27]part of a nationwide public health recall. We gave it to her for the first time on the 6th of January um for her evening feed just before bed and within
[13:37]20 minutes of her having this bottle, she projectile vomited all over my husband. And the first thing we did was blame ourselves. What you know, is it a sickness bug? what have we fed her? And
[13:48]you immediately just think, what have we done? You blame yourself because you have fed the but actually it's not your fault. It's a it's a trusted brand that has put that product on the shelves.
[14:00]Last month, Nestle recalled more than 60 batches of its SMA formula. Producer Danon recalled one batch of its optimal formula. It was because of the presence
[14:09]of a toxin called cellulide. It's heat resistant and it can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. The UK Health Security Agency has now confirmed
[14:19]to us that dozens of children have fallen sick with these symptoms consistent with toxic poisoning. These are babies and toddlers and they've all
[14:29]fallen ill after being fed from the affected batches. >> So, it's a fastmoving ongoing investigation and u we are just uh collecting information from all the
[14:40]children who may have been affected. We've had some children who had been admitted to hospital but they've recovered and they've gone home. From the UK HSA perspective, this is the
[14:51]first uh satellite toxin incident that we have come across. >> Since first investigating this story, we've spoken to families from across the
[15:00]UK whose children have fallen sick since being fed from recalled batches, some requiring hospital treatment. One mom told me, "I felt like I was feeding him
[15:11]poison. I felt even worse because the timing coincided with me transitioning from combination breastfeeding to full formula. So, I couldn't help but think if I would have carried on
[15:21]breastfeeding, it may not have affected him so heavily. Another said, "After stopping breastfeeding, I put my full trust into Nestle, the brand, and their product. Our daughter Rebecca became
[15:32]very ill mid December, and all over Christmas was severe vomiting, which led to her choking and needing to go to hospital. It was horrific.
[15:42]Today, Nestle told us, "We are very sorry to hear about these cases. Our teams will work closely with any families who report these types of concerns to us. We continue to ask
[15:52]parents to check the batch codes of recall products against our recall notice and thank all of those who have contacted us so far. The UK HSA say they
[16:03]along with the Food Standards Agency are continuing to investigate. Katherine, Sky News. Oh, well horrifying for parents watching
[16:14]this evening. Let's speak now to food scientists and technologist Sarah Nappa. Sarah, really good of you to join us tonight. Um, you have extensive experience in this area in your 40 years
[16:25]working in this field. Have you ever seen anything like this? >> No, not associated with this toxin. It's the first I've heard of it. It really is obscure
[16:36]>> in terms of the safety of baby formula. I mean parents watching tonight are going to want a bit of reassurance. Talk us through the the process because this is a mass prodduced >> Yeah.
[16:46]>> formula. So just talk us through the safety measures that are in place. >> So for starters all of the food manufacturing companies anywhere around the world are certificated
[16:58]to a very high standard. with this outbreak, it's associated with a supply chain from China and I think
[17:08]having read the background of it, it's hygiene related. >> So, as unfortunate as it is, the supply chain has been contaminated at the
[17:19]source of manufacturing in China. It's highly unusual. Um, would not have been easily detected
[17:28]um in the industry. We check for bacteria, not so much for toxins. So, it would have taken a fairly indepth and
[17:37]lengthy investigation to have identified the toxin involved. >> Yeah. And you've not seen this toxin before. You know, Nestle is saying, you know, they've not seen this either. It's
[17:48]the first time it's it's popped up in this kind of case. Would they even have been testing for it in their regular testing? >> I would I would think I would think not. I I think it's so obscure um that it
[18:00]would have taken a real expert in the field to even have understood the risk. >> Yeah. And in terms of testing, because of course, you know, taking formula off off the shelf, you just sort of, you
[18:11]know, you just see it as something that's been deemed safe to feed your baby. You don't think of the long journey it's taken to get to that supermarket shelf. In terms of testing formula, what is the standard procedure?
[18:21]How do you prove something that, as I said, is produced on such a huge scale? How do you prove it is safe? How do you do that? >> So for for mo most most food manufacturing companies, we take a
[18:33]sample from every batch that that we produce, we send it away to accredited labs for testing. Uh generally that is microbiology. So for a standard suite of
[18:45]organisms that may harm the food in terms of quality or safety, toxins are not generally tested for unless you're
[18:55]looking at something particular like peanuts where there are aphletoxins and microtoxins associated with that kind of
[19:03]food product. Corn for popcorn and that kind of thing is also tested for microtoxins. and the port of authority where the goods come into the country
[19:14]does that testing as well. In terms of general testing in the UK, no, we don't test for toxins widely. >> Do you think that now has to change as a
[19:25]result of what's happened even though it is rare, it's not been seen before, it has happened and you know the the parents of those 36 infants, 36 infants we know about because of course there is still a recall notice in place for this
[19:36]batch. Oh my heartfelt heartfelt sympathies to the parents in terms of wider testing. That's something that Nestle and the baby food producers will
[19:47]look at. They will bring those methods in house and have it as part of their suite of testings. We have to remember in this instance that it didn't happen in their factories. It happened in their
[19:57]supply chain from China. So their emphasis will be on looking at their supply chains and their suppliers. >> Yeah. And your inkling is, of course,
[20:08]the investigation hasn't finished yet, but your inkling is that it could be a hygiene factor um in that product abroad originating in China. And and just a final word, as I said, the recall notice
[20:19]is still in place. What would your advice be to parents about checking the batches? Remind people exactly how they do that. >> Yep. So, if you look on the pack label,
[20:30]there will very clearly be a batch code, a date of production. It will be very very clear on the back of the pack. Check that against the notifications
[20:40]from the manufacturers and on the food standards agency website and if you have any doubt don't use it. >> Yeah, very sound advice there. Um Sarah, thank you so much for coming on and giving us the benefit of your expertise
[20:52]tonight. That's Sarah Nappa there, a food scientist and technologist. Thank you. >> Thank you. Still to come here on the UK tonight, a man who [music] stabbed a 9-year-old girl who was playing outside her
[21:04]mother's embroidery shop has been found guilty of murder today. An inquiry finds the [music] lives of more than 30 people who died in the channel could have been saved. And there's a warning for
[21:15]tourists to take hygiene [music] concerns seriously overseas. This comes from the family of one British holiday maker who died after picking up a bug in Cape Verdie. Heat. Heat.
[22:37]are The best thing about being a skull News
[23:32]journalist going to take you behind the scenes here for election night live. They have gone up and up. Big Sky News journalist Ed
[23:44]Conway Sky [music] News. Is anyone going to talk to us? Mortgage rates did go up very sharply during your time in office. Here it is. First off, just the scale of what we're looking at. Our data shows
[23:55]it's been happening. Question is why it hasn't been stopped. A schizophrenic who stabbed a school girl to death. She played outside her mother's shop in Lincolnshire has today
[24:07]been convicted of her murder. 9-year-old Lilia Valotita was killed in Boston back in 2022 by a man who was only deemed fit to stand trial last year. Rosalia Char
[24:18]joins me now to tell us more about this disturbing case. Many people will remember it, but it's taken some time to get to this point. Remind us why. So Lilia was just 9 years old in 2023 when
[24:29]she was playing outside her mom's uh embroidery shop in Boston in Lancasher and she was stabbed in the heart. Her mom cradled her um as she as she lay
[24:38]there. Um and through an impact statement her mom Lena said that that grief of losing her daughter is endless. It just stays with her. It doesn't go away. Uh well today a 26-year-old
[24:50]Lithuanian man has been found guilty of Lilia's murder. His name is Devidas Scarbus and he as you say was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Um he was initially
[25:01]deemed unfit to stand trial but after being assessed um several months later he was then deemed fit to plead and he pleaded uh guilty to manslaughter with
[25:12]diminished responsibility. But the crown went for the higher greater charge of murder and today he was convict convicted of murder at Lincoln Crown
[25:21]Court. There was no doubt that he had killed Lilia. Um, but the question that the jury had to look at was what was his state of mind at the time of the attack. And the crown said this was clearly
[25:33]deliberate and they used CCTV footage um to explain all of that. And that showed him going to a store and buying a knife, which they said was premeditated because he was obviously buying the murder
[25:44]weapon. He'd also circled around the scene and avoided other passerbys while uh waiting for Lilia and her sister to be alone before he attacked Lilia. He
[25:53]then after um murdering her, he fled the scene running away. He also called his family uh and tried to secure funds to try and flee the UK and uh return to
[26:05]Lithuania. And he also changed his appearance, shaving off his beard, but he was tracked down by police and arrested for Lilia's murder. Now, um, Scarbus had a history of mental health
[26:16]illnesses. That's why it took so long, but following a two-week trial at Lincoln Crown Court, he was convicted of murder. David Ascarbas remains in a high security hospital and he is due to be
[26:26]sentenced on the 25th of February. >> Okay, Sadia, thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Now, an inquiry has found the lives of more than 30 people in the channel could
[26:37]have been saved if a French warship had responded to a Mayday call. A boat carrying at least 33 migrants capsized while crossing from France to the UK in November 2021. Only two survivors were
[26:49]found in French waters nearly 12 hours after the first calls for help. >> It doesn't matter um where they came from and why they were coming to the UK. What mattered was that the information
[27:00]they gave the Coast Guard clearly indicated that the boat was sinking. They were in the water. They were dying. And that was not taken at face value. And because of the decision not to take it at face value, many more lives were
[27:12]lost. What needs to happen now is that the Coast Guard reflects and learns from these events and from the findings of the inquiry um and that measures are put in place, including an independent
[27:23]oversight body to make sure that something can never happen again. >> And North of England correspondent Katy Barnfield has more on this story. Well, the key finding really from
[27:33]today's report is that some or all of the more than 30 lives that were lost as a result of this disaster could have been saved if it weren't for serious failings in both the French and the
[27:44]British emergency response. Those victims uh included children uh who died when the inflatable dingy that they were using to try and get from France uh over
[27:53]to Dover uh flooded and then eventually capsized uh in the channel in November 2021. and it was the worst small boat disaster ever recorded uh in the English
[28:04]Channel. The Inquiry chair, Sir Ross Cranston, said there were three key reasons for the deaths. Firstly, people smugglers cramming far too many people onto the boat, which in itself was
[28:15]completely unsuitable for the journey. Secondly, he pointed to the French emergency response. There was a UK Mayday call that went out and it was actually a French warship, a naval
[28:26]warship called the Flamont that was closest to the dingy at the time, but it failed to respond to that Mayday call and Sir Ross said if it had done, it's likely that everyone on board could have
[28:37]been saved. Then he also pointed uh to the response from HM Coast Guard. He said there were longstanding issues like serious chronic understaffing at their do base. He also said there was poor
[28:48]decision-making which led to the rescue effort being terminated far too early uh on the night when people were likely still alive. And he said there was also a longstanding belief amongst Coast
[29:00]Guard staff uh that distress calls from small boats were overexaggerated which meant the emergency wasn't taken seriously enough. There were several distress calls made from the occupants
[29:11]of the boat on that night via mobile phone to both the French and the British authorities, but it was 12 hours uh before the only two survivors uh were recovered by a boat uh that eventually
[29:22]came. Now, SOS has made 18 recommendations in terms of the UK's maritime emergency response, including things like retraining uh for Coast Guard staff. We've also heard from the
[29:34]government who said it's received the recommendations from the inquiry. It wanted to stress that its thoughts remain with the families of the victims and the survivors and it said it will respond to those recommendations in due
[29:45]course. Still to come here on the UK tonight, a warning for tourists [music] to take hygiene concerns seriously when overseas. It comes from the family of one British holiday maker who died after
[29:56][music] picking up a bug in Cape Verdie. And we speak to broadcaster Kirsty Gallagher on her experience of living with tinitus [music] and a brutal attack
[30:06]as she walked through London last year. Heat. Heat.
[30:46]Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.
[31:29]Heat. Heat. Heat.
[32:17]Hey. Hey. >> [music]
[32:40]>> Heat. Heat. to Glasgow now where a man is on trial
[33:18]accused of murdering a retired groundsman with a shotgun. Prosecutors alleged that the former head gatekeeper David Campbell shot Brian Low on a
[33:27]remote track in Persia in 2024. Our Scotland reporter Connor Gillis has this report. Well, this is a case that gripped the small Scottish village of
[33:38]Aberfeld. 65-year-old Brian Low was found dead 2 years ago off the beaten track in a remote part of that village. The jury here at this murder trial in
[33:48]Glasgow today heard that it was initially thought that Brian had died from a medical episode, but a postmortem examination later revealed uh that gunshot wounds had been discovered. Now,
[34:00]the man accused of this murder is Brian's former colleague, David Campbell, who is 77 years old. and they had both worked on a large sporting
[34:10]estate on the outskirts of the village for very many years. David was the head gamekeeper and Brian was a groundsman and there was a suggestion theme throughout the evidence today that the
[34:21]pair had not got on and had not got on for quite some time. Uh evidence from various witnesses about the years leading up to Brian's death. One witness
[34:30]suggesting that Brian was trying to set David up for alleged wildlife crimes that had or had not been taking place on that estate ahead of what culminated in
[34:41]a police raid on David's house. A suggestion that David was really agrieved by this. He implied that Brian
[34:50]had planted stuff that was a line of evidence from the boss of the pair at the time, the owner of the estate. The jury also heard about a separate HR
[35:00]related incident between Brian and David where Brian was accused essentially of spreading extremely unpleasant things about David and his wife. There was an
[35:11]allegation of cruel gossip. Now, David Campbell denies the charge of murder and a raft of other allegations dating back to 1995, including a suggestion that he
[35:22]threatened to shoot people. He has lodged a special defensive alibi for the murder charge and the trial here in Glasgow continues tomorrow. >> The family of a British woman who died
[35:34]after a holiday in Cape Verdie is urging tourists to take hygiene warnings seriously as UK health authorities examine a spike in serious illnesses there. Four British tourists died
[35:45]between October and December last year after falling ill, having visited the winter sun destination just off the coast of West Africa. Our national correspondent Tom Palmer has this
[35:55]report. >> They still can't quite believe what's happened that their loved one could go on holiday and not come home safely. >> She lived the last few days on this
[36:07]earth in agony. I'm angry because I want answers. >> After Kim's sister-in-law, Karen Pulley was hit with a stomach bug in Cape Verie, things escalated and within days
[36:18]she had died. One person's too many. And uh you know if it goes on the way it's going, how many more are going to suffer? >> We're heartbroken. >> Really? >> We are. >> Yeah.
[36:29]>> Yeah. >> Do you think Cape Verie is a safe destination? >> No, I don't. >> Over 1,700 people have now come forward to say they've been seriously ill after
[36:39]visiting Cape Verie. Many highlighting poor hygiene. Karen's family is one of a growing number taking action against the holiday firm Tui. The UK authorities
[36:50]here are also investigating. Scientists have noticed a clear spike in the numbers of two stomach bugs, Salmonella and Chagela, particularly among people who have been to Cape Verdie between
[37:01]October and December last year. >> This latest data shows that there have been 158 cases linked to this outbreak um since October 2025.
[37:12]Um and we know at least 112 of these people um have traveled to Cape Verde in the week before they became unwell. Um but it's really good to see from the
[37:23]data that the number of new cases per week um has been declining. >> Better news on Chagella, but these scientists say Salmonella cases there are on the rise. >> We're not saying don't travel to Cape
[37:34]Verie, but it's our responsibility to make sure that people are aware of the risks. So taking measures like choosing food that is freshly prepared and piping
[37:44]hot. Um avoiding salads and raw fruits or vegetables that may have been washed with unsafe water. Um drinking bottled water, avoiding ice and drinks is also a
[37:56]good idea. Um and always sort of thoroughly washing hands. >> Tui has said it's fully investigating the claims and ensures any customers who fall ill while on holiday have access to
[38:06]appropriate care and assistance. The Cape Verdie government said the country is among the safest in Africa, that these cases are rare, and that the deaths involved people with clinical
[38:17]vulnerability. Tom Palenterment, Sky News. Broadcaster Kirsty Gallagher has called for a greater police presence on the streets of London as she described the
[38:28]attack she endured at the end of last year. Kirsty was kicked by a random man as she walked to her car after work. The man has never been found. Well, I was speaking to Kirsty about her work as an
[38:39]ambassador for Tinetus UK. Kirsty developing tinitus as a result of a benign tumor in her ear. I began by asking her to describe what it's like to live with tinitus.
[38:50]I I have a lowle buzzing and it's just always there. Today it is medium. Some days depending on what I've been doing or what's going on environmentally as
[39:02]well, it can be really loud. Um, and then some days it can be quite low where it's it's it's manageable. So, it really
[39:11]is about navigating day by day. And yeah, I mean, some days it can it can drive you a bit mad. >> Yeah. One in seven adults in the UK are affected by some form of tinitus, which
[39:22]is a really high number. I wasn't aware of that. And it does affect your life. Like you said, you live with it daily. And I'm sure it can compromise so much of what you do as a broadcaster, but for
[39:32]some people it can be lifechanging, life-threatening even. >> Well, yeah. I mean, obviously I'm now working with Tinetus UK and I found out
[39:43]so much more. So, as you said, one in seven people, which is a lot of people, that's nearly 8 million people across the UK, >> um, have this condition. It varies. It's it's differing in every person,
[39:54]>> um, for different reasons as well. It can be caused by, for example, um, you know, stress, anxiety. It can be through, you know, loud music, having
[40:06]spent years in a in a band. Lots of lots of musicians have tinitus. I mean, I believe Chris Martin suffers and Phil Collins on the drums, you know, I think years of of that environment.
[40:17]>> Um, for me, mine was obviously through >> being diagnosed a few years ago with a benign acoustic neuroma, which is a form of brain tumor in my right ear. I have
[40:25]now as you know got got sort of um pretty much no hearing in my right ear and it came with that the tinitus came as well then and I was yeah listen it's
[40:37]it's not easy but for me it's manageable and I'm very lucky I feel for those and I've learned a lot more as I said working with tinitus UK because I've learned a lot more about what people
[40:48]some people you know cope with have to cope with and and how difficult that is I mean it it can devastate lives Um sadly some people can't cope and it
[40:59]makes it's really um very sad and very emotional when you hear some stories which I have and really that's why I re I want to raise more awareness and I
[41:09]want to say I'm here for you and I support you because I know what it's like. You had a rough end to 2025 Kirsty. Let's face it because obviously you were going through all of that and just before you started your treatment
[41:21]>> people will have seen the headlines. So, you went public. You put out a video on your social media about being attacked in London >> by a man on your walk home from work.
[41:32]>> Can you can you tell us what happened that night? I was walking down the street uh not far from my car really and and
[41:41]this this guy completely dressed in I completely you know covered up wasn't wearing a balaclava but was
[41:52]wearing everything but like just this shadow was coming towards me and I thought he's he's really walking at me. Um, so I sort of moved and it was a narrow pavement um, in the sort of Hey
[42:02]Market area and I just moved slightly but he wasn't he was just walking at me still. I was like, "What's going on here?" And he he walked past me, brushed past me like, "You're in my way, but and
[42:13]turned turned around. I was walking with, you know, me momentum." The next thing I knew, he turned around and kicked me. Really kicked me like like you would kick a football. Like a proper
[42:24]turned around pivot kick. And I was like, "What? Hang on a minute. I I what has h happened there?" So, um, I just
[42:34]turned around. He he sort of looked at me and then he scarpered. When we talk about violence and women against women and girls, particularly on this program,
[42:43]the trend seems to be online misogyny is thriving and the sense seems to be that that is
[42:52]now creeping over into real life. Do you get a sense of that particularly from the women you've now spoken to sharing their similar experiences about
[43:03]literally attacked on the street just just walking along or going to the shops or going about their business? >> Sadly, I do I think that we have become
[43:14]sorry to say it in in some ways it's kind of like is it the norm? I think that's a bit strong but it's acceptable almost. Exactly. and and it's
[43:26]just one of those things, >> you know, that's why that's why women don't report these crimes because also not enough is being done about it. The
[43:35]police were great in the beginning, >> but I haven't heard since. I I thought he would be. We had apparently very clear CCTV pictures.
[43:45]>> Um, they were fantastically supportive. I I gave a statement, victim impact statement. We didn't really have witnesses because of the situation.
[43:55]However, I I really felt like we're going to get this guy and he's going to be reprimanded for his for, you know, okay, it's a minor assault and I absolutely realize that and I I don't
[44:05]want to belittle anyone that that has been, you know, assaulted and and attacked and hurt or or >> But again, it's this sliding scale. How badly do you have to be hurt for you for people to take it seriously?
[44:17]>> Exactly. That's exactly my point. My point is this is not okay on any level. >> It is not okay to kick a woman in the street when she's going about her
[44:27]business or or just I could be stood there. >> It is not okay. So for me and and and and many women I've spoken to this needs changing. And what I really felt, my
[44:38]biggest sadness or [gasps] anger was there was not enough of uh police presence and we're in central London and I was looking everywhere like
[44:49]I I almost wanted to shout, "Please help me." >> I didn't really want to use my phone in case someone swiped my phone. I would love a bigger police presence on the
[44:57]streets. Something for, you know, you >> to make women feel safe. >> Yes. for for and also I would like the police to take it seriously
[45:07]>> when women go I've just been assaulted >> even the most minor of assaults maybe they saw it as too minor and they're like well >> we won't we haven't got time for that
[45:18]and I get it but actually it's that escalation it's those red flags that equally worry me >> well we did put Kirsty's case to the Metropolitan Police a spokesperson saying this to us this evening we are
[45:30]committed to tackling all forms of violence against women and girls and understand the significant impact an incident like this has on a victim. Officers spoke with the victim in this case on several occasions to share
[45:40]updates as the investigation progressed. Our last contact with them was at the end of December when they were informed the investigation had been filed, but would be reopened if the suspect was
[45:51]identified. The suspect's image remains in circulation across the Met. The investigation is closed at this time, but will be reviewed if new information
[46:00]comes to light. Coming up after the break, one of the greatest love stories is [music] getting a retelling this Valentine's Day. Uh we'll speak to the stars in the red
[46:10]carpet. And from Premier League [music] to League One, why Leicester City are facing the prospect of a double relegation after being hit with a six-point [music] deduction. Sky [music] News has been given
[46:30]exclusive data showing every Palestinian who has been killed in Gaza since the war began. Our analysis of this pattern in [music] the killing suggests that entire families were wiped out in their
[46:40]homes or shelters. The data and forensics team is a multi-skilled unit dedicated [music] to providing transparent journalism from Sky News. We located footage of the AROP to a tent
[46:50][music] camp in central Gaza. These airdrops are falling in extremely populated areas. >> We combine [music] traditional reporting with advanced analysis of satellite imagery, social media, and other open-
[47:01]source information. And this [music] is just one of the strikes and incidents we've been able to geollocate across [music] Gaza. Sky News has found Nazi speeches and marching music have been
[47:12]used as background sound on tens of thousands of [music] Tik Tok videos as far groups try and spread their message. Sky [music] News has seen 72,000 posts
[47:24]used in this way. There's no evidence yet of foul play [music] at Heathrow. It shows weaknesses that enemies could take advantage of. Elon Musk says it is quote a viper's nest of radical left Marxists
[47:35]who hate America. Supporters say it saves lives and projects American power and influence. >> I think we would generally be called far right. Sure.
[47:45]>> It's called Return to the Land and they invited me in. A lot of people are going to be why you making Nazi references, [music] >> right? >> Well, why wouldn't I? >> Its founder says he is building a
[47:55]fortress for the white race. >> It's a racial association. [music] I kind of want to ask you, you know, after seeing this, do you think what we're doing is immoral? >> We followed a social media [music] trail
[48:06]that led us to Bristol where confrontation between protesters erupted into a fullscale riot. Here it really is. Pitch battles, skirmishes, hling missiles, throwing
[48:18]punches. >> I'm Tom Chesher, Skye's data and [music] forensics correspondent. >> There's a fresh look to your news from 10 on Sky News. It's a new show called
[48:29]The RAP every night of the week. We'll still bring you the day's biggest stories, but with more lively debate, [music] more in-depth commentary, and more of
[48:40]what you need to know. [music] Plus, a look at what's making tomorrow's headlines. The wrap. Everything wrapped up for you
[48:51]from 10 on Sky News. >> Um, David Grio has just wandered into the studio to give you the sports balloon has immediately made me feel
[49:02]super cash, made me feel really old because this year marks the 10year anniversary of that remarkable success story, Leicester City being promoted to Premier League. I went up there for Sky
[49:13]News was in Leicester as part of the celebration. >> Winning the Premier League. >> Oh, winning the Premier League. Begy pardon. So long ago, I can't even remember the detail, but you've just made me feel really old. Was that really 10 years ago?
[49:22]>> 2016. 5,000 to one. Claio Ranieri, Dilly Ding, Dilly Dong. All these amazing references. >> I've got a photo by the mural. Yeah, Jamie Vard's having a party. I was at the hotel right by the stadium and couldn't get to sleep all night cuz it's
[49:34]so noisy. But a decade on and the story is very different because they could be heading to League One after what's happened today. >> Yes, that's right. What a difference a decade makes and it really has been a
[49:45]real sad story of decline for Leicester. So they've been docked six points by the EFL for breaching financial rules. Um this was after they got a charge from
[49:54]the Premier League um to do with what's known as PSR, profitability and sustainability rules. This is all to do with football clubs managing their finances more sustainably balancing the
[50:05]books but but you know so basically what what what that means is that under these Premier League rules you cannot lose more than 105 million over three seasons
[50:14]>> the reason why this is an EFL sanction is because now Leicester are in the in the Championship they went down in between times but instead of losing 105 million over three years well over the three three years that they were
[50:26]measured they lost close to 200 million pounds so So it's it's taken a while to get to this but they have been docked six points and that has put them yeah perilously close to the relegation picture in in the
[50:38]>> where exactly has that put them in the >> So they've gone from 17th to 20th obviously like 2014 to 22nd 23rd 24th go down but they are level on points now also just worth thinking that there is a wider context to this with the club they
[50:49]haven't got a manager they they sacked Marty Suentes recently Andy King is an interim charge and so this is a really really tricky position for Leicester to be in all the mood music is is pretty
[50:59]gloomy I'm afraid if you are a Foxes fan. So that is as far as Leicester are concerned. Um however it's the start of yes one of the greatest rugby union
[51:08]competitions tonight. [music]
[51:27]>> Perfect. Thank you very much. >> A footballer's life is all about moving. I never [music] had a problem with that because I was the one that was progressing in my football career.
[51:38]>> The crazy gang's welcoming committee were making sure their new arrival enjoyed a warm welcome. >> I'd had a small aroscopy operation and at that particular time there was a lot
[51:49]of clubs interested in me. >> But in a lastminute twist, Wimbledon learned John Hartson would not be moving his Spurs. John Hartson was last week tipped to be on his way across South
[51:59]London for5 million pounds. That seems a dead deal. >> I don't want to do any more medical to be honest. >> I can't pass a medical because of this knee. >> A downbeat John Hartson was rushed out of Ibro today having been given the
[52:10]worst possible news. >> We did not believe he was at the correct fitness [music] at that particular time to go straight into Champions League. >> Very seldom you see a player in the building walking around at a club and the deal isn't done.
[52:22]>> I'm starting to question myself. I'm starting to think, well, where do I go from here? >> The best medical [music] he ever failed. I knew about his injuries. But that didn't matter to me because [music] I think John had played 20 consecutive
[52:33]games for Coventry. >> I was going to an absolute giant in Celtic football club. Another [music] season, another club for John Hartson. >> So, I've proved that my knee's fine and my fitness is good. >> This was my complete [music] say. I
[52:44]think he wanted to prove his fitness and I think he wanted to prove Rangers wrong. >> And here's Hudson. Celtic fans hold John in the highest regard.
[52:55]>> Incredible. Several >> Celtic football. >> Oh,
[53:06]>> I mean I can't let you go one without commending you on your pronunciation of the French names there. >> Um, but also bringing us that image of Ben Stokes. We should have put a warning
[53:17]up before we showed that. >> Fair. Fair. But look at him. This is Peak Stokes, isn't it? >> I mean, I >> This is just what he does. >> He's just taking it in his stride, posting a picture. Um, >> but the thing is the thought proce. He's
[53:29]been injured. He's not trying to hide it or not talk about it. He's gone and posted it and then the caption that is Ben Stokes. That's that is that is what he's about. England captain, you know, by by nature as well as by name, right?
[53:40]>> Every now and then. Um, yeah. Okay. Well, we wish you well. Well, Ben Stokes, that is in your recovery. That is quite something. David, thank you so much. >> Um, right. Let's talk about the hotly
[53:52]anticipated Hollywood adaptation of Wthering Heights is having its UK premiere in Leicester Square tonight ahead of its release in cinemas on
[54:01]Valentine's Day. Heath Cliff, you're not enough. Not for her. >> Well, me and millions of women around the world are excited about this one.
[54:13]The Emily Bronty classic, often cited amongst the greatest love stories of all time. that this new retelling stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Lordi. It's created a bit of controversy over its casting [music] choices. Our
[54:23]entertainment reporter Debbie Ryard has been on the red carpet with the film stars. >> What was it when you read the screenplay for the first time that you thought, "Oh, wow. This is this is magic." And
[54:34]you're getting to put your own spin on it for this time. Well, it just felt so it kind of had a lot of the Emerald signatures, I suppose, whereby I feel
[54:45]like she really leads with the emotional journey. And even though she's so good at crafting a story that can make you gasp or make you clutch your pearls at times,
[54:56]like emotion always is the priority and always comes first. And I think she always thinks of the audience when she makes a film and writes a script. Like what is going to give the maximum, you know, emotional impact for the audience?
[55:07]How is it going to be most entertaining for them, you know, as opposed to maybe letting it be a more cerebral kind of exploration? It's more of like something coming from your gut, your
[55:17]heart. We see yourself and Margot in this. We They were talking about in pre-production, you did a lot of kind of things to connect to each other. Emerald set up shrines to each other in h in your in your sets. How did that kind of
[55:28]help with with your relationship over over the last while in this film? >> Well, Em is an actor herself, so she she she knows what it's like to to be going into a performance. So, she gives us
[55:39]this two week rehearsal space, which you don't often get on movies. So, you know, Emerald builds that as a director. >> And what's she like as a director? Because seeing this the third film now every time it's such a unique
[55:50]production, every single one that she creates. What's it like as an actor having someone like her being at the helm of a film like this? I don't use this word lightly, but I I I find her a genius. >> Why?
[56:01]>> Watch the movie. >> Cannot wait to see that film. Rereading the book uh pretty much uh this week ahead of it. And the weather giving Wthering Heights vibes on the red
[56:12]carpet. Let's take a look at the bigger picture. >> Dinner under the stars tonight. >> That reminds me of our travel insurance. >> You mean All clear skies. All Clear
[56:23]Travel Insurance sponsors Sky News weather. >> Uh the rest of this week looking unsettled. Rain and hill snow bringing localized disruption. That said, parts of northwest Britain looking dry this
[56:34]evening. Elsewhere, outbreaks of rain, heavy and prolonged in the south. Snow more likely on Northern Hills. It's going to be windy for most of us. There'll be further spells of rain and hill snow overnight, but western Scotland should stay dry. It's going to
[56:46]be mild in the far south where the wind will ease up. Tomorrow morning looking cloudy with showers or longer spells of rain. But the northwest of Scotland will be mainly fine once again. Thundery downpours are possible in the southwest
[56:58]while hill snow in the north will become increasingly confined to Scotland. It's going to be chilly in the windy north, milder in the calmer south. The afternoon looking pretty similar. >> All Clear Travel Insurance proudly
[57:10]sponsors Sky News Weather. That's all from the UK tonight. We'll be back on Monday night next week [music] at 8:00. So I'll see you then. Up next,
[57:19]it is The World with Dominic Wackom.
